College Prep Placement


All students entering Miami
Dade College must take the CPT
Reading, Sentence Skills, and
Math Exams. The CPT Exam is
mandated by the Florida
Department of Education for all
undergraduates entering tertiary

Skills Exams are placed in ENC

Depending on the Reading and
Sentence Skills scores, students are
placed in one of three levels of
College Prep Reading and Writing.

Students earn a single grade for
each course (Lecture and Lab). In
order to pass a course, the student
must pass the course with an “S”—
Successful. The other grades are
“P”—Progress, and “U”—
Unsatisfactory. To earn the grade
of “S” students must complete
satisfactory course work, lab
work, and pass the final exams
for each level.
In ENC 0021 and REA 003,
students must take the State Final
Exams.
After students have passed ENC 0021
